You gotta be nuts to go that fast in a civic. They can be made fast, but their drive trains and trannies feel like they are about to blow up once u hit 90

Agreed... That said however, it's still damn impressive to see a Civic beat a Viper.

Instability is a good word to put it. those cars weren't built to withstand 200+mph.
